The first Christmas after my ex moved out, I was driving out of her apartment complex after having picked up the kids and I saw a bumper sticker on a pickup truck that said, "Better to have loved and lost than live with a psycho bitch for the rest of your life."

Somehow, everyone these days have become lazy. Reporters are now lazy. Teachers are lazy, working only until 4 PM and getting half the year off. Firemen are lazy and overpaid, just sitting around the firehouse playing cards. Politicians are lazy, just interested in expensive trips and chasing women. Illegal immigrants are lazy, walking across the border here so they can live the high life with food stamps and free medical care at the expense of hard-working legal citizens. Policeman are lazy, because they aren't out there arresting all those millions and millions of illegal immigrants instead of just standing around the station house, watching traffic cameras. Yep, except for those millionaires working hard, investing their money so people can get jobs in China or India, it seems that the only people working hard these days are radio talk show hosts, who have become super busy the last few years pointing out how lazy everyone else is these days...
I've seen those same rogue anti-virus scams on my Linux Boxes. Always amuses me when it shows my C: drive and tells me my Windows Registry is infected...
Ah, yes, it's not like people have been living in the area and using well water for a couple hundred years. Yet now, they can light their tap water on fire and somehow this study does not count because no one tested the water beforehand.
Would there have been a reason to test the water BEFORE you could light it on fire? And what might be the cause now, after a hundred years of prior use, that the water is flammable?
This is not something confined to the PA-NY border; it happens wherever fracking goes on, yet we are supposed to believe that this particular case is confined to one bad operator? The gas industry needs to seriously review the precautions they are supposed to be taking and see if they are truly being responsible corporate citizens.
Given that our species in its current form has only been around for something like 300,000 years, I am not going to worry about the sun burning out in five billion years, at least not when there are so many other ways - and a lot of those self-inflicted - we could all kick the proverbial bucket.
Face it, if we haven't figured out how to get out of the way of the sun burning up by the time it happens, we don't deserve to survive.
I have a workstation, an Asterisk box and a Windows 2008 server hooked up to my KVM/USB Hub. I have a free port. I plug this in and I have the machine that I've wanted to surf the web while my workstation is otherwise occupado, for only 25 bucks and (more importantly) not taking up any space or more electrical outlets on my UPS. Is it a replacement for OLPC? No, but I have an immediate use for it.
Of course not. IT departments have been cut to the bone and the budget to hire an outside security auditor is now the CEO's bonus for cutting IT costs. The few SysAdmins left working in most IT departments are too frazzled to pay much attention to security and management mostly looks at any spending on IT security like buying insurance - we won't spend that money until after the house has burned down because before then there's we don't care.
Just look at the earlier article here on Slashdot to see how much most companies value good SysAdmins.
BTW, that response is NOT standards compliant. That's just GE's implementation of the RFC. If you read the RFC, you'll see there the response should be: "418: I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle and here is my spout." GE just didn't want to put enough processing power in their electric teapots to properly implement the RFC.
Come on, admit it. You work for the NSA and you're actually watching me type this right now. You're just playing with us, saying that someday someone will make "...some rather minor modifications" and be able to do exactly what you're doing right now. BTW, I don't feel like getting up to check - can you tell me if the coffee's ready?
Funny. If you read TFA, you'll see that the couple in question had paid off the computer and now owned it outright. The store manager was mistakenly trying to repossess the computer and that revealed the spyware to them. So, obviously, they could afford the contract. Nothing clear about it.
The point of the article is not poor people make bad decision, get computer repossessed. It was about a company still having spyware on a computer that was owned by their former customers.
The crime was committed on US soil, therefore it is a domestic crime and thus the FBI's jurisdiction. If often happens now that criminals that flee the US are hunted down and brought back by the FBI, usually with help from local law enforcement and wheels that are greased by the CIA. That is why there are FBI field offices in foreign countries.
Remember to that the CIA is not a law enforcement agency - it is an intelligence agency. It's job in 9/11 was to prevent the attack from happening. Once the crime was done on US Soil, the FBI takes the lead, apprehends the criminals and brings them back for trial. Not saying the CIA wouldn't have had a hand in tracking down those the FBI was interested in, but the ultimate responsibility for catching and bringing those guys to trial should have rested with the FBI, not the Defense Department.
the ones that are around don't have the capability to hide terrorist masterminds...
Really? I wasn't aware that we had found Osama Bin Laden recently.
Bush totally mis-characterized Al-Qaeda and the Taliban supporters. Instead of looking at 9/11 as an attack and having the military handle the response, it should have been characterized as a crime and the FBI should have taken the lead. If the Taliban refused to hand over Bin Laden, then the FBI asks the military nicely to get this guy for them and we invade Afghanistan. FBI agents would have traveled with the military to handle prisoners and ensure that we brought those murderous bastards to justice in American Courts.
Instead, we glamorize and elevate what those murderous thugs did and grant them a status as prisoners of war that they were never really entitled to. They were criminals, plain and simple, that murdered thousands of innocent lives. They should be treated as such and no more. We invented a war, when we should have been pursuing criminal cases instead.
As for Iraq, well, that was personal for the Bushes, but invading a country to get your father's portrait off the floor of a hotel is not a good reason for millions to die.
Me, I love me some Rachel Allen. I mean, a beautiful blonde with an Irish accent that can cook - what's not to fall in love with? But she measures everything in metric, so here in the states they helpfully supply subtitles with the conversions for us 'mercans.

I for one welcome our web spinning 8 legged horsie spider beasts from hell overlords... ;-)
Yea, pretty soon fiber optic cable's going to be as cheap as shit...
Of course, that still doesn't mean that ISPs will not implement data caps...
That was fun! Can we do it again?
I've seen those same rogue anti-virus scams on my Linux Boxes. Always amuses me when it shows my C: drive and tells me my Windows Registry is infected...
Option 1 - set an access list on your border router and permit connections only from the networks of your users
Option 2 - eliminate FTP externally, make everyone connect via VPN and run FTP internally.
Option 3 - Option 1 plus SFTP rather than FTP.
There are more options of course. There are ways to mitigate the number of attacks, but you have to research and implement them. Good luck!

I can see a use for this right now.
I have a workstation, an Asterisk box and a Windows 2008 server hooked up to my KVM/USB Hub. I have a free port. I plug this in and I have the machine that I've wanted to surf the web while my workstation is otherwise occupado, for only 25 bucks and (more importantly) not taking up any space or more electrical outlets on my UPS.

For now....

I tried imagining the whole Earth as if it were immersed in honey, but I could never get past imagining Brooklyn Decker immersed in honey.
No wonder the effing coffee tasted so weird...

No, I can't, but then again I'm not their lawyers looking to pay off a Lamborghini...
You've obviously never driven in Los Angeles. Being able to drive a car while being shot at is part of the driver's license test.

the first thing we want to do is nuke it
Because it's the only way to be sure, as long as it's done from orbit...

I prefer the ill-tempered sea bass. Once their mission is done, they make a good lunch dish.
Joe Average would never ever build his own, or even buy a pre-built one.
I would buy a kit that would allow me to assemble my own 3D printer. Do you have an app that can tell me how to do that? ;-)
